Ground Source Heat Pumps, in the framework of Shallow Geothermal Energy Systems, outperform conventional Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems, even high efficiency Pumps. At same time, though, they require considerably higher installation costs. The utilization dwellings' foundations as ground heat exchanger components has recently demonstrated potential to generate significant cost reductions primarily attributed reduction expenses associated with drilling backfill material (grout). These elements are referred literature Thermo-Active Structures or Geo-structures (EGs). current study employs a 'mixed studies' review (i.e., review, critical state-of-the-art review) methodology comprehensively examine assess compatibility integration different renewable energy sources environmentally friendly technologies foundation deployed EGs. mainly include pumps, district heating cooling networks, solar-thermal waste heat, biomass other types such urban structures. Emphasis been given on advancement this area, identifying addressing two primary categories. first category involves EG that able supply green electricity, referring electricity obtained from on-grid off-grid integration. second category, direct indirect provide vice versa. technical non-technical barriers integrations have discussed detail, challenges generally involving engineering design, system optimization, whereas encompassing economic, social, policy domains.
